Manchester United and Chelsea make history as Women's FA Cup final at Wembley sold out

Manchester United made history last month when they beat Brighton to reach their first-ever Women's FA Cup final, and the final is now set to become a record-breaking occasion at Wembley as it's sold out for the first time in the competition's history.

It was confirmed on Wednesday that tickets for the showpiece event on May 14 were sold out. With a capacity of 90,000, this year's final is set to smash the record set last year when Chelsea played Manchester City in front of 49,094 supporters.

Since the final moved to Wembley in 2015, there's been a steady increase in attendance figures - excluding the 2020 final, which took place behind closed doors. The latest sell-out represents another huge step in the growth of the women's game.
